Fast & Furious Alum Gal Gadot Is Your New Wonder Woman

Gal Gadot, last seen in Fast & Furious 6 helping wrangle a giant plane that was barreling down a comically long runway, is now signing up for her own jet. An invisible one. The Israeli actress best known as Gisele in three Fast & Furious films has signed on to play Wonder Woman in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel, which might also be called Batman vs. Superman but definitely includes Ben Affleck as Batman alongside Henry Cavill’s returning Superman. Here’s what director Zack Snyder had to say about bringing Gadot on board:

“Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe. Not only is Gal an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role. We look forward to audiences discovering Gal in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character.”

Gadot has many of the necessary requirements for playing Diana the Amazonian warrior—namely brown hair, an awesome body, and an ability to handle a lasso (based on that runway scene in Fast & Furious 6). You can see two of the three in this supercut of her best scenes in the Fast films, the sixth one not included:

Given that we live in a world now dominated by The Avengers and its many variations, where no superhero movie can come without an implied spinoff and trilogy attached, Gal Gadot has likely signed up for a decade-long gravy train. Attempts at a standalone Wonder Woman movie have been happening for years—it’s still a travesty that Joss Whedon could never pull his off—and there’s no confirmation this news that there will be one coming. But if Batman vs. Supermanis the hit that Man of Steel’s $662 million worldwide gross says it should be, Gadot will have a massive global audience that knows her as Wonder Woman and ought to be clamoring for more. Man Of Steel 2: Batman vs. Superman Featuring Wonder Woman And Probably A Villain Eventually comes to theaters on July 17, 2015.
